The Florida net is empty and 25 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: the Oilers are It looked like they were dead and 26 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: buried and the Stanley Cup Final was over. And I'll 27 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: tell you what, live tweeters, not your time, but now 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: here they are a minute away from evening up the 29 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Final at two games. 30 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 3: A lot of cold takes, is that what you're saying? 31 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 3: A lot intended with the ice and they and all 32 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 3: of that fun stuff. 33 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: There's lots of them. 34 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, Wallman with the goal, I mean, Kachuck got them 35 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: started for Florida. Two goals early. We had the three 36 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 3: nothing lead. I always want to say nil. I'm in 37 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: that soccer vein now. And then they battle back and 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 3: we're like, all right, we got twenty minutes of great hockey, 39 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 3: and we have We've had a couple of fisticuffs, but 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: nobody's taking the bait, and then you get the big shot, 41 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: create separation. Now the empty net to close it out. 42 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: Now, the big thing from this game, okay, yeah, Game four, 43 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Final. Yeah, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: are at the. 45 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 4: Yeah they are. 46 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: Now this is oh my goodness, the Panthers have just 47 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: tied it. Wow, with the with the net empty, a 48 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: rebound in front from a near impossible angle. I have 49 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: tied this game at for a piece, which is nineteen 50 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: seconds left to go in regulation where looks like we're 51 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: going to overtime. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey are going 52 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: nuts now. Now Travis Kelsey is a Blackhawks fan, but 53 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: obviously here at the Stanley Cup Final, he's also a 54 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: loser bringing a lot. Wow. You know, here's the thing. 55 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: You can root against one of the two teams. Okay, 56 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: you can't root against both. I do that so I 57 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: know you don't like the Oilers. But now it looks okay, okay, 58 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: all right, so you're ready for the pan Okay, okay, 59 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: making sure you're there, Okay. 60 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 3: You see the effort as the puck started to scort 61 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: towards the corner, the defender on his knees trying to 62 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: kick his leg out, hoping, wishing that it catches part. 63 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: Of his skate. Not to be done. Oh my goodness, 64 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: impossible angle for four nineteen seconds. Ryan Hart with the 65 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: goal to tie it up. We're gonna wind up going 66 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: to overtime for the third time in this series. Again, 67 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: this is the most entertaining Stanley Cup Final in the 68 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: last decade. I mean really, it was insane. I mean, 69 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what else you want because 70 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: the one game that wasn't close you had all those 71 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: great fights. So I mean, I don't know what. I 72 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: don't know what else you want in the Stanley Cup 73 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: Final than this. 74 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: But here's your question now, right, football fans, we saw 75 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: the backlash and anger and saltiness. Oh there's that Taylor 76 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: Swift again, like our hockey fans like, damn it, They're 77 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: gonna pay attention to us tonight because Taylor Swift's at 78 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: the game. 79 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: Let's go for us? 80 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: And look, Casual is probably watching, yeah, trying to figure 81 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: out what's going on in the hockey world. 82 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sure there's other people watching it. Now. 83 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: Do I like Taylor Swift for being here? Do I 84 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: not like her for being here? 85 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 5: What? 86 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: Celebrate? What do I see? What am I doing? This 87 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: is yet another backbreaking moment for Edmonton. Who look, they scored, 88 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: they score with nineteen seconds left to go. To tie 89 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: Game three, they lose in double overtime. Look, I told 90 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: you I firmly expected to be three to one going 91 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: back to Edmonton, and they are, you know, dead men walking, 92 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: because to come back from something like that is nearly impossible. 93 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: But here they are, and they come back from three 94 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: zip in game four, only to give up a goal 95 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: with nineteen seconds left from a near impossible angle. And again, 96 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: I don't know how many how many gut punches can 97 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: you recover from? If you're Edmonton, I don't know that 98 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: you can. I really know that you can. 99 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: Well, I'm talking about testing human resolve. I mean it 100 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: is the best and worst of sports all at the 101 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 3: same time, right to thrill the victory agony of defeat 102 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: in that moment. Fortunately it's just an equalizer, uh, and 103 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 3: we have more hockey on the way. But going back 104 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 3: into that, I can't imagine the locker room attendants are 105 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: terribly excited about what's about to happen. 106 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: I really I don't, I don't, I don't really I 107 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: don't know how you do it. I really I don't 108 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: know how you do it. If you Edmonton, you're coming 109 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: back from this. But again again, best Stanley Cup Final 110 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: last ten years. Yeah, incredibly. I mean, you get three 111 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: games in overtime, man, and you had and you had 112 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 1: eleven fights. 113 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 3: Now, the only thing that really would have been that 114 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: next level is if you know Taylor Swift channeled uh 115 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 3: the Prince of Darkness bit the head off a rat 116 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: and threw it on the ice or something. 117 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm with you there, Yeah, you know what 118 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: I mean, went full AlSi paranoid era and bit off 119 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: a head of a rat. 120 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 3: I mean it could be a gummy rat, right, they 121 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: sell them, sell you know, novelty candies. Travis Kelsey with 122 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: a nice haircut, you know, and. 123 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift bite it ahead off a rat, chewing it 124 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: out and throwing it on the ice. Time out, Paul Maurice, 125 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: the Panthers want to talk it over. That's the cover 126 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: you never thought you wanted until this moment. I mean, 127 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: I mean, really, boy, every game, okay, every game of 128 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Final going to overtime or Taylor Swift 129 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: biting the head off a live rat like Oziofer two. Yeah, yeah, 130 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: I got yeah. 131 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 3: I mean yeah, we're looking about togetherness. Yeah, okay, I 132 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 3: mean that is even if you don't like her music, 133 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: you did you were mad because her tickets to her 134 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: concerts were expensive where you had to wait in line 135 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 3: to get a T shirt or whatever else that brings 136 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: everybody together. I mean, you want to talk. We talk 137 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 3: about sports bringing people together. Sports plus Taylor Swift and 138 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 3: Rats we win. Yeah, Like, but I also think it 139 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: would be fun. Like if Taylor Swift did a contract 140 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 3: and she showed that she had control over the Rats, 141 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 3: she was like a superhero and she could respond and 142 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: she to you know, direct them to do things right, 143 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: Like suddenly, now it's like, whoa, she's like in the 144 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: Marvel Cinematic Universe, she's. 145 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: Rat Swift. But didn't we have one of those in 146 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: the DCU control rats? That would be great though. I'd 147 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: love to see that. No, you're thinking about the Mummy 148 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: when when Arnold Voslu controlled the scarebs that came out 149 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: of just with like eight people, Like, yeah he had that.

Yeah, I mean you may 155 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: as well invented. Okay, yeah, you know I mean, it's 156 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: not like I came up with the idea for spaceballs too. 157 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's not that it's always been out there 158 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: that she's been waiting on it.

Okay, I'm I 172 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: can make every NFL fan feel better right now, shape 173 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: of his life, no matter what you have seen over 174 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: the course of the last few days, whether you have 175 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: I will say this, if your quarterback is struggling throwing 176 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: to air, then I raise my hand and go ew Okay, 177 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: maybe you don't want to see that, and there have 178 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: been a couple of justin fields reports, but more good 179 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: justin fields reports. That's the only way I look at 180 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: it and go, man, you're if your quarterback is struggling 181 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: against it, really struggling, Not like I'm missing a couple 182 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: of throws here and there. But generally, this is the 183 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: best time of year. It's even it's even better than 184 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: training camp because now that there's no games really in 185 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: the preseason, we pay attention because the players don't really play. 186 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: You don't really get to see anybody. Training camp is 187 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more stressful than it was in the 188 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: past because well, you know, summer's green field can yield 189 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: a plethora of it, while well, the summer it's still Hey, 190 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: there's hope there for everybody. Ah, you get to start 191 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: seeing that maybe our first round pick is not ready, 192 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: maybe this is not as good, and you can't really 193 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: judge in the games because again, the guys don't play 194 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: the mini camps now before they go on vacation. This 195 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: is your last hey, era of good feeling until you 196 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: come back and the stakes are raised. Right, everybody's going 197 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: on vacation. The mini camps are over. They do on 198 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: vacation for the next month. You know, the NFL teams 199 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: come back, and you know, at about a little bit 200 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: over a month from now, and okay, it's like the 201 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: end of school. Hey, okay, Scott, summer coming. Hey, but 202 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: the fall comes. You're gonna be a junior.

This should be the time 210 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: where everybody is enjoying their team. Even the Steelers can 211 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: enjoy Aaron Rodgers before he's absolutely terrible and washed and yeah, 212 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, was that? I'm sorry? I want full of positivity. Sorry, buddy, 213 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: I should be more positivity. You can enjoy all of 214 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: these moments. The Cowboys doesn't jet. Yeah, he's the worst thing. 215 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: You added him to the quarterbacks coaches, guy, this guy 216 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: is the greatest. He's going to get us to the 217 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: super Bowl. You never had it. Cha dropped him like 218 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: a bad habit dropped like a bad habit. Good cold, 219 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: because I look, he still has the ability, right, he 220 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: still has some of the ability, but it's not nearly enough. Right, Like, again, 221 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: he still he throws off his back foot all the time, 222 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: He throws the ball away when a defender gets close 223 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: to him. And while he could still put up some numbers, 224 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: is he really going to be the guy that's gonna 225 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: take your team? Say, here's your playoff team. No, he's 226 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: not right, but yet somehow the Steelers still think he's 227 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: the guy. 228 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 3: But again, no, it's not. Positivity is very crowded and whatever. Like, Look, 229 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 3: I I allowed other shows to do this because I 230 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 3: didn't want to and be I thought it was a 231 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 3: great waste of time in terms of keeping track of 232 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 3: completion percentage during these these workouts. And and everybody can 233 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 3: throw the ball in a country mile. There's very few 234 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 3: quarterbacks that, you know, not under serious duress, can't throw 235 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 3: the ball deep. And those are guys usually coming off 236 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: a big shoulder injuries. Sure, we're not expecting that, you know, 237 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 3: we're not expecting. 238 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: Right now, c J. Stroud to go out and rip it. 239 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 3: We're not expecting now, We're probably not gonna see Anthony 240 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 3: Richardson going out. It's Daniel Jones's time. But all of 241 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 3: that to say, it's it's the fun time. 242 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: Hope.

The summer 248 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: gets more so look, life gets more stressful early in general, 249 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: and and the NFL is really, you know, a mirror 250 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: of that.

Okay, 334 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 5: you should know the next person is that you're gonna hire. 335 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: Difference okay, difference in the Cowboys record this year if 336 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is running the team or if Grimas was 337 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: running the team. 338 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 4: Zero zero, same record, same record. 339 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 5: Okay, actually, you know what, I take that back. They'd 340 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 5: be better with Grimace, all right, because Grimmas would not 341 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 5: do postgame preps conferences. 342 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 4: In the locker room, have. 343 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 5: The good sense to not interfere with the head coach. 344 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 7: He would just wave, drinking a Grimace shake it, put 345 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 7: his arm around Shot and Himer for some pictures that 346 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 7: he would wave to the kids, and you would see 347 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 7: him on Tuesday. 348 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 5: Nod his head one way or the other. Yeah, I'll 349 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 5: be good. I'll be good. You know here, Hey, Brian, 350 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 5: go for it. 351 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 3: Well, Dak says he's super excited to play for Shottenheimer. 352 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was great. That was actually the chiron and 353 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: the and the quote. 354 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, but the questions is he playing for him or 355 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 5: just be playing with him? 356 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: However long he's here. I enjoyed playing for him. 357 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 5: Because, yeah, Dak is playing quarterback and he's playing coach. 358 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 5: He's not really coach, He's just playing coach. Let's let's face. 359 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: Do you see a scenario for the Cowboys to have 360 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: success this year? Do you see any any way they 361 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: can they can find some sort of hey wow, this 362 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: went completely opposite of how we thought it was going to. 363 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 5: They have good players. I mean, they do have their 364 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 5: players two years ago. There a couple of years ago 365 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 5: under McCarthy a pretty good team. I mean like they 366 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 5: could win ten eleven games. Yeah, that could happen. They 367 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 5: could even make the playoffs. They have enough talent. Are 368 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 5: they really gonna win anything? No, it is not going 369 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 5: to happen. It's just like you've got you've got you 370 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 5: know how Doy Doty coaching them. You've got you know, 371 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 5: you've got the evil character, a wide receiver in George Pickens, 372 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 5: who there's no way Shottenheimer can ever handle him. There's 373 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 5: not like if Mike Tomlins said, no, I can't do 374 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 5: this with George Pickens. What do you think the shop? 375 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 5: What shot does Brian Shottenheimer have really Like, let's let's 376 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 5: really think about this one. And yes, Pickens has lots 377 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 5: of motivation to be good this year. He's got a 378 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 5: contract year. He's got to play nice, he's got to 379 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 5: do all those other things. He's just too emotionally, he's 380 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 5: too emotionally corrosive to be helpful in that for that team, 381 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 5: they're just they're just done with them. Like again, the Steelers, 382 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 5: they knew all of these things about George Dickens and 383 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 5: they still traded him. So he's going to let them 384 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 5: down somewhere in some critical moment. But they've still got 385 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 5: ceedee lamb. You know, they've still got you know, Dak, 386 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 5: and they've still got the semblance of an offensive line. 387 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 5: You know, it's taking a step backwards, but it's they 388 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 5: have assemblance of an offensive line. And that's got some 389 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 5: guys on defense who are really good. You know, start 390 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 5: with if you start with Michael Parsons, you can do 391 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 5: a lot of things. 392 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: One of those and maybe Hamburglar too. 393 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 5: Grevis was at the owner's box, sitting next to Steven 394 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 5: and Jerry Junior. Could did you see that? Like if 395 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 5: they were panning to them during the game and Grimace 396 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 5: was sitting there instead of Jerry. What'd just so much happen? 397 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: I got a pigeon with a big cowboys head, and 398 00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: he's got a big. 399 00:19:59,280 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 7: Shake in his. 400 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 5: Cowboys owner's back, and even even the cowboy Bees would 401 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 5: be happier. 402 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: Really, escalator, quickly, you got cowboy be shake coming up here. 403 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: That's a part part purple flavor and part honey flavor. 404 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 5: And we get so much more on the show here, 405 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 5: and I'm just gonna have to take a step back 406 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 5: from the operations where do here? 407 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: Grima's just the bashing of positive Well, you mentioned the 408 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: Steelers eight and a half the total Jason as soon 409 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 1: as Rogers was no longer a Jet, He's buried him 410 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: and says he's got nothing left and it's all going 411 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: to fail and blow up in Tomlin's face and cause 412 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: and cause him to lose his job. 413 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 5: I'm bet for victory, That's what I'm betting. I'm free 414 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 5: from the. 415 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: Jets ex jet now good, yeah. 416 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 5: Well very much. I mean like he played for the 417 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 5: Steelers and and the Packers now two of the most 418 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 5: story franchises. And then there's the Jets. 419 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: Are you really trying to sell me that you're really 420 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: trying to sell me that with Aaron Rodgers. 421 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 5: I'm trying to tell you that they have a really 422 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 5: great evense, which they do. They'll figure it out with 423 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 5: he with with Watt, that would be fine, right, TJ's 424 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 5: gonna play. They'll somehow pay him more money if you had. 425 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 5: You know, they were decent last year with Russell Wilson. 426 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 5: I still think that Aaron Rodgers is better than Russell Wilson. Yeah. 427 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 5: I don't like the fact that he wasn't there during 428 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 5: the offseason, But I think the fact that now everybody 429 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 5: knows he got married, I think everybody looks that good. 430 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I get it. I get why he wasn't here. 431 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 5: I can understand that, and so that that will leaves 432 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 5: some of the ill will that he was building up with, 433 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 5: you know, the organization, not just the fans and not 434 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 5: just all the media who's like questioning whether he's into 435 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 5: this or not. But it's all of a sudden, Oh yeah, 436 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 5: I got Now. It's still not a great situation from 437 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 5: a do you actually know the guys that you're playing 438 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 5: with you you know the timing, you have everything down. 439 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 5: No it doesn't work out. But again, this was a 440 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 5: team that was competitive last year when they just had 441 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 5: Russell Wilson out there and and Aaron Rodgers. I truly 442 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,199 Speaker 5: believe it is still better than Russell Wilson, A lot better, debatable, 443 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 5: but the better. Again, it's the Grimis concept. 444 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 3: See it all coming back to Grimm's Pilot's stay in division. 445 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: What happens in Cincinnati? 446 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: What breaks everything? 447 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: Okay? 448 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 5: Wow, the Bengals like and they had all the hope 449 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 5: for a couple of years. You know, got Burrow, We'll 450 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 5: get Chase, We've got weapons, we get everything, and then 451 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 5: it's like, oh yeah, we don't want to sign our 452 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 5: best defensive player. We don't want to pay him. Why 453 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,479 Speaker 5: because the owner is cheap and so at the end 454 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 5: of the day, as much as Henderson has played really 455 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 5: hard and deserves another contract, you know, Mike Brown wants. 456 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 4: To be. 457 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 5: You know, he just wants to be so cheap for 458 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 5: no reason. You've got to reward guys who play that hard. 459 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 5: You want to reward your own guys, especially when you're 460 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 5: a team that doesn't play free agency right like you 461 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 5: don't go out and spend on guys a lot. You 462 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 5: want to spend on guys who are in house and 463 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 5: who's been more productive for them. Our granted, the defense 464 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 5: still was terrible last year, and Hendrickson was allowed to 465 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 5: just you know, to do what he wanted essentially, but 466 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 5: he did it. He was he was the only break 467 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 5: spot on a horrible defense. So why aren't you paying 468 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 5: him when you're paying Higgins, Chase and Burrow. Arguably he's 469 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 5: better than he's better than Higgins. Certainly in the player 470 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 5: he's more important. Now He's not better better than Chase 471 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 5: than Burrow, but he's better than Higgins and Haigen's got paid. 472 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: Jason Colard, guest Jason Smith, Mike Carbon live from the 473 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, so so help us 474 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: here right now, if you had a crystal ball, and 475 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: I can say, going into week one of the season, 476 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:43,479 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns is who and 477 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: you can't say Brian Sipe. 478 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 5: Though it really is. I like the type choice, and 479 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 5: do I not get that one of the choice. 480 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: The cardiac kids. I mean, I love the cardiac kids, 481 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: but I mean I you know, Pipe is in his seventies, now. 482 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, for Brian's out there, Bernie Cossar, I'll bet Bernie. 483 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 4: Coster, Bernie Kozar, Yeah. 484 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 5: I heard my he was just in a hospital bed 485 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 5: in it.

You do that a few times in studio, 676 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,759 Speaker 1: and then you had to talk and open mouth and 677 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: say thanks. 678 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 3: It became a very interesting proposition.

So earlier today Christian Polistics started making 682 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: some headlines. Right US men's national team star who is 683 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: not playing with the team and the Gold Cup wanted 684 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,439 Speaker 1: time off at the end of a long season. Couple 685 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 1: other star players wanted time off as well. The Canada 686 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 1: coach today, who never misses an opportunity to troll the 687 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: United States, said, none of my players ever said they 688 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: wanted time off. They're already for the Gold Cup. He 689 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: goes on a podcast and he talks about how the 690 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,399 Speaker 1: criticism that he got in the past couple of days 691 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: from Landon Donovan, other former US men's national team stars 692 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: that said, hey, guys got to be playing when it's 693 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: Gold Cup with the World Cup just around the corner. 694 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: He's not a big fan of what people are saying. 695 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,919 Speaker 1: He gets it, but thinks it's a little out of line. 696 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 6: I mean, when it comes to those guys, it's I 697 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 6: don't know, I guess it is. It is tough because 698 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 6: I you know, I looked up to those guys growing up. 699 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 6: Some of these guys are my idols, and you know, 700 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 6: I respect them so much as players, and it's tough, 701 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 6: especially when you know some of them as well, even 702 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 6: you know privately, the way they can, you know, the 703 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 6: way they talk to me and clearly want to show support. 704 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 2: And you know, be a friend and everything. 705 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,479 Speaker 6: And then and then it goes and they say something 706 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 6: slightly different publicly, and that's that's fine. 707 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 2: You know, of all things. 708 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 6: You can talk about my performances whatever you want, but 709 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 6: to question my commitment, especially towards the national team, in 710 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,760 Speaker 6: my opinion, that's that's a way out of line. 711 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: You that's strong right there, that's strong right there. Hey, listen, 712 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: I mean this, this is this is Captain America, right. 713 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: This is a guy that's been supposed to be the 714 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: leader of US soccer for the last decade. You took 715 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: the super serum, you took the challenge. Look, come on, man. 716 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: We talked about the problem with you with the US 717 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: m n T. And there absolutely is some kind of 718 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: disconnect between the players in US soccer, right, whether it's 719 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: how they feel about Marisio Pochettino, how they felt about 720 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: what happened with Burholter, whatever it was, there's some kind 721 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: of disconnect when the best players aren't playing when the 722 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,359 Speaker 1: World Cup is next year and again Canada, Hey, none 723 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: of our players said they didn't want to Cup. They 724 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: were all ready to be here to play, right, we 725 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: want you an old drag his ass sign down the 726 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 1: field and he finally is he had to drag, literally 727 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: drag his leg off. So it's it's taken me a 728 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: day thinking about this and and breaking it down as 729 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: to what it reminkeds, because it was something one of 730 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 1: those things like that's something I feel like a detective 731 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 1: where things are riding around in my head and then 732 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: I have that moment of clarity, You're like, yes, this 733 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,839 Speaker 1: is this is really what it comes down to, your 734 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,240 Speaker 1: Daniel moment When I when I hear Polistic talk about 735 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: this and hear the other players give reasonings for not 736 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 1: for not wanting to play and how it's been a 737 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: long season and playing elsewhere, I go back to this. 738 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: This generation of US men's players were made stars before 739 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,479 Speaker 1: they had earned it. Right, Policic came up and boy, 740 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: hey he's the best player we have had. And he 741 00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: was anointed right away as being he's gonna be the 742 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 1: guy that leads US soccerrate other guys as well. But 743 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: what do we get when when you get anointed and 744 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 1: this group of players, whether it's Robinson, whoever else you 745 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,839 Speaker 1: know you know yet Peppi in here as well, and 746 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: now Raina, when you get anointed, you're supposed to be great, 747 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 1: and everybody thinks you're without having earned it. It's kind 748 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: of difficult to find the mindset to grow and to 749 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: understand how to lead when you're told you're a star 750 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: way early, right. I always say this, this is guys 751 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,720 Speaker 1: like Miles Austin happened to in the NFL, Matt Harvey 752 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. He was the dark Knight before 753 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: really accomplished anything, and he never really got what it 754 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: meant to be a leader and to understand this is 755 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 1: how you have to carry yourself as a professional. Like 756 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: this is still there's stupid stuff. This is just stupid 757 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,919 Speaker 1: knucklehead stuff that goes on. There's always knucklehead stuff off 758 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: the pitch with players, whether it's rain and his parents 759 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: and Burholt or Polisic is feuding with Landon Donovan, like 760 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: you gotta fight, you gotta understand, you gotta earn this, 761 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: and I don't know that that the young group, this 762 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: young group that's supposed to come together and eventually cut 763 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: through for the United States. They've never earned it. But 764 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,200 Speaker 1: when you're annointed to star early, well, okay, I've made 765 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 1: the shortcut now to being a star. So I don't 766 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: need to play all the time. I don't need to 767 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 1: play for the US men's team every time I at 768 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 1: the beck and call. I can fight with other people, 769 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 1: and I can fight with who I want to be 770 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 1: the coach, and I can play flat at times and 771 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 1: play inspired other times. When you don't earn it, this 772 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: is what happens. 773 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 3: Oh, and I mean we can extend that beyond the 774 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 3: world of the US men's national team. And I'm sure 775 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 3: there are a lot of people driving around not in 776 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 3: their heads, maybe staring in the rear view mirror at 777 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 3: their kids and expectations for short cuts. But you know, 778 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 3: all the publicly they're going to say this. They have to, right, 779 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 3: it's the defense of the squad that they fought for, 780 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 3: that they tried to build up and thought they were 781 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 3: setting the table for whether it was Alexei Lalas or 782 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 3: Landon Donovan. And privately, yeah, they've got your back. They 783 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 3: want you to be the best version of yourself it 784 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 3: can be. But you know what you have to do 785 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 3: to be that guy. You have to show up. Not 786 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 3: playing in these is telling them, whether you like to 787 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 3: admit it or not, to some degree, you're not invested. 788 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 3: I'll get there when I get there is not an answer. No, 789 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 3: this is knucklehead and stuff. And it sounds like kids, right, 790 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,319 Speaker 3: and you wonder why we lose? You wondered to grow 791 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 3: up pair. 792 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: Coming up next, we get back into a big story 793 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: out of the NBA. Keep it right here, Jason, like Fox,
